yep as some of you know while most were at silverstone for trax 2 of us shot down to santa pod with some great results from the novaload team.
For starters benji finally broke the 16 sec barrier and was very pleased. secondly i have set a new time for the n/a 1.6 8v

60ft.....2.208 .....2.234
330ft...6.154......6.162
1/8......9.388 .....9.377
1/4......14.568....14.538
et........94.17.....94.52 mph

kinda get the feeling that the time will only ever repeat itself all over again like the 14.9's did lmao.

Alot of the credit has to go to cp and the lads as without their help we would never of got the new shell sorted and gained these new times so cheers :wink:

in the 15's at last. :D there was a red nova saloon that did a 14.9. he said that was a 1400 but when i looked i thought it was a 1600, he said it was a 1.4 with a 1600 rocker cover running 135bhp

:lol: :lol: :lol: if russ didnt beat me there would be serious problems with his, as its worth ten of mine and 60% of the body shell is of a different material. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Dan, how much do you weigh?? Couldn't you train a small chimp, like Alex to do good starts and let him take the car up Santa Pod for you to shave off another tenth? :lol:


Congrats on the times though, to both of you. Pwetty impwessive.

I did hear russ mention 'homo' and dan in the same sentance to be honest! And some other names. fag/homeboy/gorilla/butch/ ect :lol: :D

Well done on the times. Surely one of the quickest 1.6 8vs now?? N/A!
I managed to catch russels car doing the 0 to 60. Looked good mate.
Neat car. Took a few pics of it. Put em in me other post.

Anyhow. well done dan. glad the hard work came to a good result!

Not bad at all.

Would be good to see if Russ could get up the pod before he swaps engines.

Ian,

At least a dag tied to his car actually helps, wrapping a shell suit round the tail pipe and setting fire to it so it looks like an after burner is just cosmetic! Didn't work anyway, just looked like a load of blue smoke bellowing out! :lol:

Well done Dan.
